It is crazy how information is being held back on this. On WABC from New York on John Batcholor and the other guy-- it was reported that in Cairo today a Muslim bigwig issued a fatwah against the American troops. This was believed to have sparked this Al Queda attack by a sleeper sargeant in the 101st Airborne. Amazing how this is being reported some places and the others are tripping over each other.

I don't care what anybody sez about "profiling".

Inter all muslim soldiers, sailors and airmen NOW!

Sky News is owned by Rupert Murdock who also owns FNC...

[eastforker]

Sister station to FNC,quite reliable.

A person's first reaction is that the perp is probably muslim and black.

It's sad for all the other decent muslim soldiers that he reinforced the basis for the fear.
Now, it's something that the military services have to keep track of.
Profiling is a worthwhile tool.

Fox is also reporting the Pentagon is confirming this story. 13 soldiers are wounded, 11 seriously, by a Muslim U.S. soldier attached to the 101st Airborne. He rolled three grenades in to officer tents. I have also heard that he was shot in the leg, and found hiding in a bunker.

Treason with a capital T. Let me be on the firing squad.

They are Fox News' sister station out of Britain.... thinking they are just as reliable as Fox News.

[mondonico]

Check out their site. They seem pretty established. I think they are the one independent (I.e., not BBC) network in UK.

SkyNews is a unit of NewsCorp - Rupert Murdock - FoxNews Channel's sister station...

[kellynla]

Just got in but I did see a scroll on Fox of someone rolling grenades into three officers' tents. BTW Sky News is a "sister" network to Fox.

This is a real problem--BIG problem.

I doubt there are a lot of Arab muslims in the Services, and if there are any, no doubt, right now they're dumped in some "token" position where they can do little harm.

Black muslims, however, are a different story. Blacks comprise 13% of the Services--32,500 in the theater now--and of that number assume 5% are self-identified Black Muslims--conservative assumption if you ask me. That gives us 1,625 black muslims, and this frightens me.

Why? Because blacks who've converted to Islam have done so because (i) they hate the U.S., (ii) hate Jews, and (iii) hate White people. In other words, the perfect candidate for a soldier who would do something like this. One or two here or there, no big deal, but 1,625 could do real damage.

Islam is incompatible with America and most of the remaining world. Let the socialists and communists have them. They can then hack each other apart in gang fights.

Sky News is owned by Rupert Murdoch (sp). It is the "Sister" station of Fox News. BBC News main competitor.

Let me be on the firing squad.

You and about 200 million others in the country.
